Just a reminder…
Now that the weather has definitely turned cooler, please remember that our ‘uniform swap’ runs informally throughout the school year. During Literacy Night in November, all the uniforms will be displayed for you in the school hall, as they were during ‘Back to School’ night.
But for now, we have a plethora…one of my favorite words…of uniforms, especially khaki pants! We have all sizes available for both boys and girls, in several styles, and in great condition. If you don’t have anything to swap, that’s okay. I encourage you to just come by and pick out what you need.
Keep reading to your kids!

FREE & REDUCED LUNCH DEADLINE
Applications
for free or reduced lunch were due today!
Anyone who has not turned in a new application for this year will begin
being charged the full rate for lunch ($2.00) beginning Monday, Oct. 1. All
applications are kept confidential.
Included
with today’s newsletter is the Hot Lunch Menu for October. Parents, please note that milk tickets can be
purchased in bulk just like hot lunch.
All you need to do is indicate that the money is for milk and the
computer does the rest. So much easier
than scrambling for those quarters every morning!

Blocking such a great success! The weather was great, the parents were fun

SWEATSHIRTS
Finally, we have received prices for our Holy Spirit Catholic
School logo shirts for this year.
Attached to today’s newsletter is an order form and price listing. New
this year is your choice of color - red, white, black or gray, on any of the
items plus we have added a zip-up
sweatshirt. During the cold winter
months sweatshirts can be worn as part of the school uniform. If your child chooses to wear the zip up
style of sweatshirt, they still must have a uniform shirt on underneath. Tee shirts will only be able to be worn on
Spirit Day.

PAPER
Have you noticed weird stuff on the back of your student’s
homework papers or on papers going home from the school office? Well in order to help save a tree and to keep
our costs down, we use “used” one sided paper for such things. If you see something on one side that doesn’t
make sense rest assured you can probably ignore it. This paper is donated and we try to make sure
that the content on the one side is “clean” but once in a while we do slip up
and something gets by us, so accept our apologies in advance. Also, if you have one side paper that you
would like to donate, please drop it off in the school office.
TESTING
BEGINS
Beginning next Tuesday, Oct. 2, students in grades 2-6 will
begin M.A.P. testing. This is the same
type of test as the ISAT’s, just a different name and provider. Please make sure your student gets plenty of
rest and a good breakfast so that their brains are awake and thinking!!!
STRANGER
DANGER
Kindergarten through 6th grade students walked
down to the City of Pocatello Police Department yesterday for a Stranger
Danger presentation. Check with
them to see what they learned and help reinforce it to help keep all our little
darlings safe!

Helpful Hints to Help Your Child Learn
Set up daily routines. Consider the routines below to make your
child feel more…………..
- RELAXED. Music can
help your child avoid the morning rush.
Play a soothing tape and ask him to be dressed and ready by the
time it’s over.
- ENERGIZED. A good
breakfast increases concentration.
Offer your youngster healthy choices: a whole-wheat bagel w/peanut
butter; orange juice blended w/fruit and yogurt; instant oatmeal.
- CONNECTED. Talking
about the school day lets your child know you care. Ask him to share two good things that
happened during the day. Prompt him
with specific questions, such as “Which multiplications tables did you
practice?”
- PREPARED. Studying
a little every day is the best way to learn new material. Help your youngster choose a time for
homework when his is most alert – and try not to change it.
RESTED. A set
bedtime helps kids fall asleep more quickly. Suggest that your child get in bed 15
minutes early to read, make up stories, or talk quietly with you. Taken from Home & School Connection
